I follow the recipes similar to what Andy posted, but I use a roast
that has been pre-sliced really thinly, and frozen. Throw it into the
crock frozen, add the spices, sauteed peppers and onions, and cook on
low about 10 hours. Serve piled high on crusty Italian bread; it
tastes very similar to the true Italian Roast Beef sandwiches you get
in Chicago.
